Housing
Help families evaluate and select the appropriate level of housing or residential option, from aging in place to assisted living facilities.
Legal
Refer client to or consult with an elder law attorney; provide expert opinion for courts in determining level of care.
Home Care Services
Determine the types of services that are right for a client and assist the family to engage and monitor those services.
Medical Management
Attend doctor appointments with client; facilitate communication between doctor, client, and family; and, if appropriate, monitor the client’s adherence to medical orders and instructions.
Financial
Ensure clients have their financial affairs in order, and consult with CPA, fiduciary, financial advisor, and/or power of attorney as needed.
Communication
Keep family members and professionals informed as to the well-being and changing needs of the client.
Social Activities
Facilitate opportunities for and encourage the client to engage in social, recreational, or cultural activities that enrich the quality of life.

Safety and Security

Long-Distance Care
Coordinate the care of a loved one for families that live at a distance. This includes preparing a customized care plan after a comprehensive assessment and modifying the plan as circumstances change. Our dedicated team provides crisis management during emergencies. We can also identify and engage local, cost-effective resources.
“Over the course of many years, and the last 5 years in particular, my Care Manager has been an incredible resource for me, for which I am immensely grateful. Having known my mother from the start of companion services all the way to the end, she has been available to help me navigate the changing needs of my mother. She has always been extremely responsive. Her knowledge, expertise and resourcefulness eased my burden significantly. The peace of mind she provided to me by brainstorming and researching options as the situation evolved were invaluable. I can’t say enough about how wonderful she is and how grateful I am for having her by my side over the years and throughout this journey.”

“We have been most pleased with the services provided by Windward Life Care. We not only have a Care Health Manager but a companion care gal as well, both provided by Windward. I moved out of state and the rest of my family are many miles away, so having some personal attention to our 97 yr old aunt was imperative! They have been responsive to our requests and have gone above and beyond the call of duty in some instances. We couldn’t be more pleased with the personnel assigned to overseeing our Aunt and feel most comfortable that she is getting the attention she needs. I would highly recommend this company.”
